Time of the Game Drives

At Kishapui Africa Adventures, our expertly guided game drives are scheduled to maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities. The best times for game drives are during the early morning hours and late afternoon to evening. These are the cooler parts of the day when animals are most active and the light is perfect for photography. Morning drives typically begin at dawn, around 6:00 AM, and continue until late morning. Afternoon drives start around 3:00 PM and conclude at dusk.

 

How to Spot Wild Animals

Spotting wild animals in their natural habitat can be both thrilling and challenging. Here are some tips to enhance your experience:

  • Be Patient and Observant: Wildlife viewing requires patience. Look for subtle movements or changes in the landscape. Predators, in particular, are often well-camouflaged.
  • Listen to Your Guide: Our experienced guides are adept at spotting wildlife and will often notice animals long before you do. Follow their instructions and tips.
  • Use Binoculars: Binoculars are essential for spotting distant animals. They allow you to see details that are not visible to the naked eye.
  • Check Water Sources: Animals often congregate around water holes, especially during dry periods. These are prime spots for sightings.
  • Watch for Tracks and Signs: Animal tracks, droppings, and sounds can all indicate the presence of wildlife. Our guides are skilled in interpreting these signs.

 

What to Do

To ensure a safe and enjoyable game drive, please follow these guidelines:

  • Stay Seated: Always remain seated while the vehicle is moving. Stand up only when the vehicle has stopped and your guide indicates it is safe.
  • Keep Noise to a Minimum: Speak softly to avoid startling the animals. Silence enhances your ability to hear and spot wildlife.
  • Follow Guide Instructions: Your guide knows the environment and animal behavior. Adhering to their advice ensures safety and a better experience.
  • Bring Essentials: Pack a hat, sunscreen, water, and a camera with extra batteries. Dress in neutral-colored clothing to blend in with the environment.
  • Respect Wildlife: Maintain a respectful distance from animals. Approaching too closely can cause stress to them and danger to you.

 

What Not to Do

To protect both you and the wildlife, please avoid the following:

  • Do Not Feed the Animals: Feeding wildlife can disrupt their natural behavior and diet, and can be dangerous for both you and the animals.
  • Do Not Litter: Keep the environment pristine. Dispose of waste properly to avoid harming animals and their habitats.
  • Avoid Sudden Movements and Loud Noises: These can startle animals and may provoke dangerous reactions.
  • Do Not Leave the Vehicle: Only exit the vehicle when permitted by your guide. This is crucial for your safety and for minimizing your impact on the wildlife.
  • Avoid Flash Photography: Flash can disturb and frighten animals. Use natural light whenever possible.
